DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of any economic decision is the cost of giving up its alternative. We are aware that we have limited resources with alternative uses and we have to use these resources to satisfy alternative needs and wants. In order to increase spending resources on one thing, we need to decrease spending on its alternative.

Here, the parking spot on the driveway can be used for personal use or can be used for renting. The opportunity cost of using the spot for personal parking is the money that could have been earned by renting it to others.

= $1,367.1 billion + $2,666 billion + $8,299.1 billion

= $12,332.2 billion

b. The value of Government Expenditure = Sum of expenditure by federal Government and State & Local government

= $3218.9 billion

c. Gross Investment = Sum of investment and inventories

=Non-residential fixed investment + Residential fixed investment + Change in private inventories

= $2336.2 billion + $645.4 billion + $111.9 billion

= $3093.5 billion

d. Nominal GDP = C + I + G + (X-M)

= $12332.2 billion + $3093.5 billion + $3218.9 billion + ($2264.9 billion - $2789 billion)

A T-bill that is 290 days from maturity is selling for $96,040. The T-bill has a face value of $100,000.

umka2103 [35]

Answer: a 0.049, 0.05 and 0.05 or 5%

b 0.039, 0.041 and 0.041 or 4%

Explanation:

Ai discounted yield = [(Face value - purchase price)/Face value] * 360/ maturity

Discount yield =:[(100000 - 96040)/100000] * 360/290

= 0.0396* 1.24

= 0.049

ii. Bond equivalent yield (BEY) = [(Face value - purchase price)/purchase value] * 365/M

BEY= [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/290

BEY = 0.05

iii EAR = [(1+BEY/n)exp n - 1)

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/(365/290)) exp (360/290) - 1]

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/1.26) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = (1.04) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = 0.05 or 5%

The same formula are applied for the B part

Discount yield = [(100000-96040)/100000] * 360/365

Discount yield = 0.0396 * 0.986

= 0.039

B ii. BEY = [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/365

BEY = 0.041 × 1

BEY = 0.041

B iii. EAR = [(1 + 0.041/(365/365))exp (365/365) - 1

EAR = (1 + 0.41) - 1

EAR = 0.041 or 4%
